Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cooking whole and with ground spices? Ground Spices?
There are no differences between cooking with whole spices or ground spices. All spices can be ground once they have been harvested. So there is no difference in quality.
But the price gap is significant. Whole spices can be more expensive due to the labor involved in their processing. But the flavour is worth it.
Buy whole spices and you'll often receive additional discounts. A whole bag of cinnamon sticks might be eligible for a discount.
The same goes for nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, etc. These spices can be purchased in bulk to save money.
Whole spices can also last longer than the ground spices. Ground spices quickly lose their potency due to oxidation.
Whole spices are a great way to add personality and flavor to your recipe.
For instance, you can make a delicious curry with whole turmeric instead of ground turmeric. You can also grind whole coriander leaves to make a spice mix for chicken dishes.
Also, grinding spices takes time. It makes sense to purchase large quantities of whole spices when you are buying them. So that you don’t run out of spices, it’s a smart move.

How To
How do you store your cooking spices?
I will tell you how to store cooking spices for optimal performance. We must first understand the science behind food storage.
Spices are stored in airtight containers away from the light because exposure to light diminishes their flavour. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.
To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.
The best way to preserve the flavour of spices is to keep them in airtight jars away from direct sunlight.
For a flavoured beverage, add herbs and spices. For example, you could mix 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in 1/2 cup of warm milk and stir it well. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.
Dried herbs can be added to soups stews, casseroles pasta dishes rice dishes salads and desserts. Just sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the dish. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before you serve.
As snacks, leftover cooked vegetables and fruits can be added into your favourite recipes.
For the best flavor of fresh herbs, you can chop them up or tear them apart and then add them to your favorite foods. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
